Smoke billowed from the Shahran oil depot near Tehran after Israeli aircraft struck two fuel depots, sending a heavy cloud over the capital and marking a sharp turn in the Iran-Israel confrontation.
Authorities say Iranian missile fire on Israel overnight killed at least 10 people, as both sides launched fresh waves of attacks in what officials describe as their most intense clash in history.
For days, residents across Tehran have formed long queues at gas stations, bracing for potential shortages and navigating uncertainty at the pump.
Beyond Iran’s borders, this escalation underlines how quickly a regional flashpoint can echo through global energy markets, business corridors, and travel plans. Investors in G20 hubs are eyeing fuel supplies, while travelers and digital nomads weigh safety and routing choices.
Even sports and entertainment fans tracking major events are reminded that geopolitical shocks can reshape schedules and experiences worldwide.
Back in Tehran, the rising smoke serves as a stark symbol of how local crises can resonate around the world.
